Positioning
Foundations Sprint

Ensure your prospects understand why you're their best option

  • Generic messaging casts your offering into the Sea of Sameness.

  • Reps struggle to standout during competitive sale cycles and rely on discounting as a win strategy.

  • Misalignment between enablement material and sales team experiences.

  • AI can't help you if your content is based on generic messaging.

"In a busy marketplace, not standing out is the same as being invisible"

Seth Godin

Positioning Foundations Sprint is a structured 2-day workshop to lock in your positioning and create alignment between sales, marketing, and product.

It's inspired by April Dunford's Obviously Awesome book and Force Management's command of the message, with workshop format of Foundation Sprint from the book Click. It helps you tighten your positioning and build a pitch that sells.

How it's different

  • The positioning foundations sprint brings the voice of the customer into the workshop to drive higher-quality, more productive conversations.

  • Furthermore, the output of the workshop is tested through market experiments to prove product positioning clicks before scaling.

How to run the sprint

“Before working with PositioningHQ, our go-to-market felt like a game of telephone. Every rep told a slightly different story and our deals were stalling out halfway through the funnel. The Positioning Foundations Workshop completely changed that. In just two days, they helped us nail a clear, compelling narrative that every customer-facing team could rally around. Within a month, our win rate in our target segment jumped 35%, and we’ve all but stopped discounting to close deals. This wasn’t just a workshop; it was the single most impactful investment we’ve made in our GTM strategy.”
